Rare: 'Kinect will be our main focus'

New studio manager Scott Henson, who has been involved with Microsoft's Xbox brand since its inception, said that Rare will be prioritising development on software for the motion-controller.

"Kinect will be the main focus for Rare going forwards as it’s a very rich canvas. This is just the beginning of an experience that will touch millions of people," he told MCV.

"My vision for Rare is the same today as it has always been - they have great vision, they are very creative and they take big bold risks to create groundbreaking experiences.

"We love taking risks and really pushing the boundaries of what people can do, and we're really excited to see what it means to explore the boundaries of controller-free gaming. I think Rare's future will continue to push those boundaries, continue to use Kinect as the basis for innovation.
